An issue with these two curved beam homework problems

In summary, The speaker is seeking help with two homework problems involving calculating stress at points A and B on curved beams. They believe their procedure is correct but their results are different from the teacher's. They are having trouble seeing the pictures of the calculations and ask for them to be recreated. The first problem does not have a load and the second problem has a 5KN load.

Hi, good evening/morning/night!

I have a problem with this 2 homework problems about curved beams.

In both I must calculate the stress at points A and B.

My procedure is correct, but for some reason in:

First problem - the effort in A is very close to that of the teacher, but the effort in B is very different.

Second problem - In both efforts I am close to the teacher's results, but they are quite different.

I don't think I'm too far away, but I must be doing something wrong somewhere and I can't figure out where.

I would greatly appreciate your help.

The pictures of your calculations are barely visible.
Could you please recreate the text of both problems?
I can’t see any load on the second one.
Sorry

I am very sorry, they have already been corrected in the main text.

In the first problem it does not have a load, so the "P/A" is omitted from the formula.
In the second it is 5KN the load
